LEARNING A PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE

COMPSCI 368

For students interested in learning a particular programming language. Focuses on a specific language offered at one of three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Students may repeat the course if the topic title is different.

INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES AND COMPILERS

COMPSCI 536

Introduction to the theory and practice of compiler design. Comparison of features of several programming languages and their implications for implementation techniques. Several programming projects required.

PRINCIPLES OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES

COMPSCI 704

Introduction to principles of advanced programming languages and programming-language theory. Topics include: lambda-calculus, functional languages, polymorphic functions, type inference, structural induction, lazy evaluation, operational semantics, denotational semantics, and axiomatic semantics. Students are strongly encouraged to have knowledge of programming languages, such as fromCOMP SCI 536.

CONSTRUCTION OF COMPILERS

COMPSCI 701

Principles of the design and implementation of programming languages. Topics include: Principles of compilation, static program analysis, compilation methods to support profiling, and code-generation methods. Knowledge of programming languages and compiler design strongly encouraged, such asCOMP SCI 536.

PROGRAMMING III

COMPSCI 400

The third course in our programming fundamentals sequence. It presumes that students understand and use functional and object-oriented design and abstract data types as needed. This course introduces balanced search trees, graphs, graph traversal algorithms, hash tables and sets, and complexity analysis and about classes of problems that require each data type. Students are required to design and implement using high quality professional code, a medium sized program, that demonstrates knowledge and use of latest language features, tools, and conventions. Additional topics introduced will include as needed for projects: inheritance and polymorphism; anonymous inner classes, lambda functions, performance analysis to discover and optimize critical code blocks. Students learn about industry standards for code development. Students will design and implement a medium size project with a more advanced user-interface design, such as a web or mobile application with a GUI and event- driven implementation; use of version-control software.
